Propecia is a prescription drug, only for men, due to adverse effects on women, to encourage hair growth.
Saw palmetto is a natural plant which has been shown in tests to do the same (and women can safely use it for hair growth). It can be purchased at health food/ all natural stores or aisles of larger department stores. Should a person only use one at a time? Are their any side effects if both are taken together?

Answer:

Sounds like that combination would do quite the number on your prostate. Judging by the findings of the study posted below, it was concluded that Saw Palmetto only reduces the concentration of DHT in prostate tissue, and has no substantial effect on DHT levels in the blood, thus, probably isn’t useful for MPB.

But if you’re looking to shrink your prostate via involution, this would be effective. I’m not a doctor but if you’re worried about side effects, I would say taking both fin and saw palmetto increases your risk of developing impotence from androgen deprivation.

Good luck

Answer:

Since Propecia is only available by prescription, that is a good question to ask whomever is prescribing it for you.

The problem is that this particular doctor won’t accept insurance so the visit would cost 0. I asked my regular doctor to refill it, but he hasn’t seen me in a few years and won’t prescribe it without a checkup (he’s not available until August).

I can’t afford to wait until August because then all of the hair I’ve gained would fall out. Are there any quicker ways you know of that I could get the script refilled?

Thanks for your help.

Answer:

Find another doctor, period!
There is NO way in hell I would pay a doctor 0 for an office visit for ANY reason, under ANY circumstances to begin with! With OR without insurance!
As for your regular doctor, you ought to switch him out too! Having to wait 1-1/2 to 2 months for an appointment is outrageous!
You need to find a doctor who can better suit your needs. Ask your Insurance provider, a friend or family member to refer you to one.
Chances are you are going to have to wait a bit no matter what you do and may have to play catch up on your hair restoration after you find a new doc, but once you do… things should be easier. Next time, contact the prescribing doctor for a re-script while you still have 2-3 left on the currant one. This will leave you enough room to maneuver if things get complicated again.

Which type of doctor should I see to get myself a prescription. It’s a drug for male hair loss

Any doctor can write a prescription for Propecia.

I have a question,. if I have a civilian prescription for propecia and I join the Army, I know I will not be able to take it in boot camp. But, will I be able to take it after I graduate boot camp? Would I be allowed to take it in Afghanistan?

I know I need the Army docs to approve it, will they allow it? Or, will they say no because it is purely cosmetic?

Anyone have personal experience with this?

Thanks,

I just called a pharmacy in London and asked a pharmacist if I can buy Propecia without seeing a doctor in person. He told me that he can arrange the prescription for me without seeing a doctor in person. So I just pay and pick up Propecia without seen a doctor. I ’m wondering if it is legal or not. Also I’m wondering if he sells me fake Propecia. Someone please give me answers for my questions. Thank you.

Answer:

I am interested in ordering propecia online without a prescription, because it may save me the hassle of going to a doctor. I have seen many advertisements on various sites which are selling propecia for a low price compared to the one that would be bought over the counter. I want to know if these sites are legitimate. i would greatly appreciate any recommended sites from you guys. Thank you again for taking the time to read this.

Answer:

Are you sure that is what your buying and not some placebo, just go to a doctor and he will tell you if that stuff will work for you.

my huseband is getting bold so i wonder where to buy propecia finasteride online no prescription. and please dont post how its wrong to do that, ive ordered many times online and everything was fine just my old pharmacy is dead so im looking for something that works.

Answer:

There are several on-line outlets if you simply do a little research. I will not recommend any one particular site because I’ve not researched the sites’ integrity and would not want to recommend a disreputable dealer.

As an aside I hope you’ve thoroughly researched the pros and cons of your husband using propecia. While there may be some benefit it is generally only on the crown rather than the front of the scalp. Sometimes ther results are minimal. There is the risk of numerous adverse side effects that should not be ignored. Also propecia needs to be taken for a life time. Once it is no longer taken, any achieved benefits are reversed.
